Below programs illustrate writeTo(Writer) method in CharArrayWriter class in IO package:
Program 1:

Java

// Java program to illustrate
// CharArrayWriter writeTo(Writer) method

import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IOException
    {

        // Create charArrayWriter
        CharArrayWriter charArrayWriter
            = new CharArrayWriter();

        String str = "GEEKS";

        charArrayWriter.write(str);

        // Create outputStream
        CharArrayWriter out
            = new CharArrayWriter();

        charArrayWriter.writeTo(out);

        // print the outputStream
        System.out.println(
            out.toString());
    }
}

Output:

GEEKS

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to illustrate
// CharArrayWriter writeTo(Writer) method

import java.io.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IOException
    {

        // Create charArrayWriter
        CharArrayWriter charArrayWriter
            = new CharArrayWriter();

        charArrayWriter.write("GEEKSFORGEEKS");

        // Create outputStream
        CharArrayWriter out
            = new CharArrayWriter();

        charArrayWriter.writeTo(out);

        // print the outputStream
        System.out.println(
            out.toString());
    }
}
